We started in the 1930's in an old tin shed before eventually moving into our current hall in 1970 (known as Tuddenham Hall). Our Group caters for youth members between ages 5-14 and supports Venturers & Rovers beyond. Our Group values diversity, inclusion and equality.

<br />
Right now all Scouts registration fees are waived until 31 March 2021. <br />
<br />
Our Group, like so many others around the state, know how hard it is for families to manage costs. This is especially true for our friends and family members who have been affected by the economic downturn and COVID-19 lockdowns.<br />
<br />
Scouting is open for all kids from 5 to 105, regardless of background, religion, race, gender etc... Scouting is not just inclusive, it prepares kids with learning activities that set them up for life, with lots of fun along the way!<br />
<br />

times.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We will be tightening our belt to get through the nine
months ahead, but we still must cover most regular operating expenses as well
as the Levy to Scouts Victoria for insurance, facilities, training. program,
etc.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Anything that you can

<div class="MsoNormal">
We recognise that many families have been financially
impacted by the current situation and we don’t want to add any further stress.
<i><b>Please do not feel pressured to help</b></i>. It is far more important that our young
people continue to enjoy their time in Scouting with their friends.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But families who can assist – eg by <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://coburgscouts.blogspot.com/2019/05/annual-registration-fees-2019-2020.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">donating the equivalent of the usual annual fees</span></a> </span> (here's a link to last year's fees), or whatever you can manage – would
be a great help! <o:p></o:p></div>

We have been keeping up to date with developments over the weekend, and sadly we are at this point.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Connie decided that after Premier Dan Andrews announced the decision to close schools and non-essential services from Tuesday onwards, it was prudent follow suit.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

<br />
Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for the Group's ARAP (Our AGM).<br />
<br />
We had one of the biggest turnouts in recent years with over 15 in attendance.<br />
<br />
I am also pleased to advise the results of the Parent's Committee elections held at the ARAP. Here are the names of your Committee Members for 2017-2018:<br />
<ul>
<li>Group Leader - Connie Tuddenham</li>
<li>Group President - Paul Ferrari</li>
<li>Group Treasurer - Liz Murray</li>
<li>Group Secretary - Claire Coulson</li>
<li>Group Quartermaster - Andrew Murray (aka 'Q')</li>
<li>Group General Committee Members - Gina Kenah and Leila Byrne</li>
</ul>
The committee is the strongest it has been in many years, and going by the attendance and involvement at the ARAP by a number of parents, our Group is in great hands for the foreseeable future.<br />
<br />
The annual presentation pack has been uploaded onto our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/247359009072705/" target="_blank">Facebook Page </a>for all to see. <br />
<br />
Kind regards<br />

<br />
Our fabulous new Group Secretary, Claire Coulson has set up a closed Facebook page for our Group.<br />
<br />
As mentioned this group is closed and intended for use by the Group members only.<br />
<br />
We would love to invite as many families to join the Group, so please send through a request to join by following this link: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/247359009072705/" target="_blank">1st Coburg Scout Group Facebook Group</a><br />
<br />
Over the coming weeks the committee and leaders will make sure there is a clear policy for use of the page. As a start we would be keen to hear how the page can be used by the group. Ideas welcome!<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />
Paul<br />
